[ Upstream commit a6816314af ]
Introduce vcpu->wants_to_run to indicate when a vCPU is in its core run
loop, i.e. when the vCPU is running the KVM_RUN ioctl and immediate_exit
was not set.
Replace all references to vcpu->run->immediate_exit with
!vcpu->wants_to_run to avoid TOCTOU races with userspace. For example, a
malicious userspace could invoked KVM_RUN with immediate_exit=true and
then after KVM reads it to set wants_to_run=false, flip it to false.
This would result in the vCPU running in KVM_RUN with
wants_to_run=false. This wouldn't cause any real bugs today but is a
dangerous landmine.
